Notes Payable _____
Interest Expense______
Interest Payable______
Cash ____________.
Please see explanatory column for answer.
Explanation:
To calculate accrued interest on December 31st
we use Interest = Principal x Rate x Time
where time = November 7 to December 31 = 54 days.
Interest = $150,000 x 10% x 54/360= 150,000 x 0.10 x 54/360= $2,250
Journal entry to record the accrued interest expense at December 31
Date Account Debit Credit
December 31 interest expense $2,250
Interest payable $2,250
b) To calculate payment of note at maturity date.
the borrowed cash will be paid in 90 days which means fromn November 7 of the previous year to Feb 5 of the next year = 90
using Interest = P XRX T
150,000 X 10% X 90/360= $3,750
Journal entry to record the payment of the note at maturity. which is on February 5th of the next year.
Date Account Debit Credit
February 5 Notes payable $150,000
Interest expense $1,500
Interest payable $2,250
Cash $153,750
Calculation: interest expense = $3,750- $2,250= $1500 This is because even though the total accrued interest was $3,750, only $2,250 was payable remaining $1,500 as the new interest expense for maturity date.
Kruger Designs hired a consulting firm 3 months ago to redesign the information system that the architects use. The architects will be able to use state of the art computer- aided design (CAD) programs to help in designing the products. Further, they will be able to store these designs on a network server where they and other architects may be able to call them back up for future designs with similar components. The consulting firm has been instructed to develop the system without disrupting the architects. In fact, top management believes that the best route is to develop the system and then to introduce it to the architects during a training session. Management does not want the architects to spend precious billable hours guessing about the new system or putting work off until the new system is working. Thus, the consultants are operating in a back room under a shroud of secrecy.
Required:
a. Do you think that management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system?Why?
b. Do you approve of the development process? Why?
Explanation:
a) Yes, because management is acting in such a way that the development of the new system implemented does not cause problems or disturbances to the work of architects. Management's goal is to present architects with the new system already developed by consultants and more efficient, which can also help in resisting changes that architects could face, so management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system.
b) No. Because in my opinion, for management to take the best course of action for the process of developing the new system, first the main users of the system should be advised about changes that could occur in the system due to the operation of the consultants, because the work of architects could be harmed in any way, so business decisions must be clearly communicated when it involves the progress of third party activities.

Complete Question:
Match the terms with the correct definitions.
Answer:
1. Fixed costs: Costs that do not change in total over wide ranges of volume.
2. Sensitivity analysis: Technique that estimates profit or loss results when conditions change.
3. Breakeven point: The sales level at which operating income is zero.
4. Margin of safety: Drop in sales a company can absorb without incurring an operating loss.
5. Sales mix: Combination of products that make up total sales.
6. Contribution margin: Net sales revenue minus variable costs.
7. Cost behavior: Describes how a cost changes as volume changes.
8. Variable costs: Costs that change in total in direct proportion to changes in volume.
9. Relevant range: The band of volume where total fixed costs and variable cost per unit remain constant.
Explanation:
It is required that each term are matched with their respective correct definitions. The terms are generally associated with business and sales management.
For instance, fixed costs are indirect costs that do not change in total over wide ranges of volume and irrespective of the level of output (goods and services) e.g rent, salaries, property tax, insurance, depreciation etc.
Also variable costs are costs that change in total in direct proportion to changes in volume of goods and services e.g sales commission, utility costs, raw materials costs, credit card fees, direct labour costs etc.
Big Bad Wolf Masonry Co. agreed to build a brick home for Johnny Little Pig, the Third by November 1. Big Bad Wolf and Johnny Pig could not predict Pig's losses of Big Bad Wolf failed to complete the house on time. They estimated that Johnny Pig would lose $150 in storage and rental fees per day if the building was not completed on time. The contract contained a liquidated damage clause. The clause required Big Bad Wolf to pay liquidated damages of $150 per day if the work was completed late. Big Bad Wolf finished the home twelve days late. Johnny Pig actually lost $1,000 because of the breach. Is the liquidated damage amount stated in the contract between Big Bad Wolf Masonry and Johnny Pig a valid or invalid liquidated damage clause and why
Answer:
In this case, the liquidated damages are too high and can be considered a penalty instead. Unreasonable penalties, like this one, can be considered unenforceable since they are treated as coercive measures to force the contractor to finish early. Big Bad Wolf would probably have to pay only the actual loss suffered by Johnny Pig ($1,000), instead of the amount stated as liquidated damages ($1,800).
Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year note required annual payments of $325,545 and carried an annual interest rate of 9.5%. What is the amount of expense Collins must recognize on its 2017 income statement
Answer:
Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.
If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823
Explanation:
According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.
Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.
When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:
Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.
= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is
= $593, 750/5
= $118,750
2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.
That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%
For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:
= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%
= $924, 455 * 9.5%
= $87,823 (approximately)

Malmentier SA stock is currently priced at $85, and it does not pay dividends. The instantaneous risk-free rate of return is 5%. The instantaneous standard deviation of Malmentier SA stock is 25%. You want to purchase a put option on this stock with an exercise price of $90 and an expiration date 30 days from now. According to the Black-Scholes OPM, you should hold __________ shares of stock per 100 put options to hedge your risk.
Answer:
you should hold 76 shares of stock per 100 put options to hedge your risk.
Explanation:
Current stock price, S = $85
Risk-free rate of return, r = 5%
Standard Deviation, v = 25%
Exercise price, X = $90
expiration date, t (in years) = 30 days = 1 month = 1/12 = 0.083333 years
The option price (OP) is given by the formula:
[tex]OP = Xe^{-rt} * N(-d_{2} ) - S*N(-d_1)[/tex]
[tex]d_1 = [ln(S/X) + (r + v^{2} /2)t]/vt^{0.5}\\d_1 = [ln(85/90) + (0.05 + 0.25^{2} /2)*0.08333]/(0.25*0.08333^{0.5})\\d_1 = -0.6982[/tex]
[tex]d_2 = d_1 - (vt^{0.5})\\d_2 = -0.6982 - (0.25*0.08333^{0.5})\\d_2 = -0.7704[/tex]
Using the pro-metric calculator for the cumulative normal distribution:
N(-d1) = N(- (-0.6982)) = N(0.6982) = 0.75747
N(-d2) = N(-(-0.7704)) = N(0.7704) = 0.77947
[tex]OP = Xe^{-rt} * N(-d_{2} ) - S*N(-d_1)[/tex]
[tex]OP =[ 90e^{(-0.05*0.08333)} * 0.77947] - (85*0.75747)\\OP = 5.48[/tex]
Note that N(-d₁) = 0.76
This means that 76/100 (i.e to hedge your risk, you should hold 76 per 100 put options )

8. Problems and Applications Q8 The city government is considering two tax proposals: • A lump-sum tax of $300 on each producer of hamburgers. • A tax of $1 per burger, paid by producers of hamburgers. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will increase. Average variable cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Marginal cost will increase. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Average variable cost will increase. Marginal cost will remain unchanged.
Answer:
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax?
Average fixed cost will increase.
Average total cost will increase.
The lump-sum tax of $300 is a one time payment that does not depend on the amount of output, for this reason, it is a fixed cost that is spread over the total quantity of burgers that are produced, and that also affect average total cost.
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax?
Average fixed cost will remain unchanged.
Average total cost will increase.
Average variable cost will increase.
The per-burger tax depends on the quanityt of burgers produced, therefore, it is another variable cost. It affects average total cost, and average variable cost, while average fixed cost remains unchaged precisely because it is not a fixed cost.
The average cost of production is computed by dividing the number cost (TC) by the output produced (TO) (Q). When we say "per unit cost of production," we mean that all fixed and variable costs are taken into account when calculating the average cost.
As a result, it's also known as Per Unit Total Cost.
The answers to the above questions are:
1) The $300 lump-sum tax is a one-time contribution that is not based on the amount of output; as a result, it is a fixed cost that is distributed across the total quantity of burgers produced, affecting the average total cost.
So, Option A and C are correct.
2) The per-burger tax is a variable expense that is determined by the number of burgers consumed. It has an effect on average total cost and average variable cost, but it has no effect on average fixed cost because it is not a fixed cost.
So, Option A, B, and C are correct.
Thus these Options are correct for the following question.

Activity Cost Driver
a. Placing orders Number of Orders
b. Stocking merchandise Number of Orders
c. Waiting on customers Number of Customers
d. Janitorial and Maintenance Area/ Square feet occupied
In selecting a cost driver for an activity it must be kept in mind that the activity must be
1) directly linked with the cost driver
2) it should not have indirect expenses
3) should be specific for that activity.
For example the number of orders would not affect Janitorial and Maintenance services but the number of orders would affect placing orders or stocking merchandise.
In addition to the positive welfare effects that free trade has on an economy, there are a variety of other benefits of international trade. Consider the following scenario: Without free trade, Sapphira has market power as a local producer. Once free trade is implemented in the local economy, Sapphira is no longer able to raise its prices above competitive levels. The previous scenario represents which of the following benefits of free trade?A. An enhanced flow of ideas B. Increased competition C. Lower costs through economies of scale D. Increased variety of goods
Answer:
B. Increased competition
Explanation:
Free trade is an economic policy where there are no restrictions to imports or export of goods and services.
Before the free trade, Sapphira had market power. She could set the price of her products. She would probably set her prices high enough to maximise profits.
Due to free trade which introduces more products to the market, sapphira is no longer able to set her prices as high as she used to. If her price is too high, consumers would not purchase her products.
This is an example of increased competition.

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 34.0 meters of material at $0.20 per meter and 0.30 direct labor hours at $19.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $16 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card?
Answer:
Total standard cost = $103.7
Explanation:
Standard cost is the sum of the standard material cost , standard labour cost and standard overhead
Overhead = OAR × direct labour hour
= $16 × (0.30×$19.00)= 91.2
Standard cost = (34.0×$0.20) + (0.30×$19.00) + 91.2 = $103.7
Standard cost = $103.7
The following lots of Commodity Z were available for sale during the year. Beginning inventory 7 units at $49 First purchase 18 units at $50 Second purchase 53 units at $59 Third purchase 18 units at $64 The firm uses the periodic system, and there are 23 units of the commodity on hand at the end of the year. What is the ending inventory balance at the end of the year according to the LIFO method? a.$5,522 b.$1,447 c.$1,127 d.$1,143
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory 7 units at $49
First purchase 18 units at $50
Second purchase 53 units at $59
Third purchase 18 units at $64
The firm uses the periodic system, and there are 23 units of the commodity on hand at the end of the year.
To calculate the ending inventory using the LIFO (las-in, first-out), we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated to inventory:
Ending inventory= 7*49 + 16*50= $1,143
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 618 frames, but the actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
Direct material spending variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame.
Actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850.
To calculate the spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= (13,850 - 1,200)/610= $20.74
Direct material price variance= (20 - 20.74)*610

The alleged sexual harassment included kissing, touching her breasts and leg, persistent requests to have a drink outside work hours despite an ongoing refusal, asking for cuddles, telephoning her at home and making repeated unsolicited sexual remarks. Based on any four ethical theories, explain how these acts constitute unethical behaviours at the workplace
Answer:
The ethical theory of rights is being violated in this case.Explanation:
As we know sexual harassment is a violation against an individual's civil rights, the ethical theory of rights is being violated in this case. The part-time worker who is being harassed by another employee is being violated of her right to a safe workplace under the civil rights.
The ethical theory of rights provides that rights designed and formulated by the society and the government should be upheld with commitment and priority. They are the basic human rights that guarantees equal and dignified life for all.
If any unethical behaviors at the workplace such as sexual harassment, abuse, threat, etc, occurs, it is a direct violation to the basic human rights of an individual.
A company had the following purchases and sales during its first year of operations: Purchases Sales January: 10 units at $120 6 units February: 20 units at $125 5 units May: 15 units at $130 9 units September: 12 units at $135 8 units November: 10 units at $140 13 units On December 31, there were 26 units remaining in ending inventory. Using the perpetual FIFO inventory costing method, what is the cost of the ending inventory? (Assume all sales were made on the last day of the month.)
Answer:
Ending Inventory $ 3540
Explanation:
FIFO means first in first out. This rule applies to counting of the inventory in such a way that the units first purchased are sold out first. The following schedule has been prepared to arrive at the ending inventory at each date of sale .
Purchases Sales Ending Inventory
January: 10 units at $120 6 units 4 units at $120
February: 20 units at $125 5 units 19 units at $125
May: 15 units at $130 9 units 10 units at $125
15 units at $130
September: 12 units at $135 8 units 2 units at $125
15 units at $130
12 units at $135
November: 10 units at $140 13 units 4 units at $130
12 units at $135
10 units at $140
On December 31, there were 26 units remaining in ending inventory
Ending Inventory = $ 3540= $ 520 + $1620 + $1400
4 units at $130 = $ 520
12 units at $135 = $ 1620
10 units at $140= $ 1400
A firm is considering a replacement project which requires the initial outlay of $300,000 which includes both an after-tax salvage from the old asset of $12,000 and an additional working capital investment of $8,000. The 12-year project is expected to generate annual incremental cash flows of $54,000 and have an expected terminal value at the end of the project of $20,000. The cost of capital is 15 percent, and the firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Calculate the net present value of this project.

Imaging Inc., a developer of radiology equipment, has stock outstanding as follows: 20,000 shares of cumulative preferred 4% stock, $140 par, and 67,000 shares of $10 par common. During its first four years of operations, the following amounts were distributed as dividends: first year, $75,000; second year, $159,000; third year, $190,300; fourth year, $205,130.
Requried:
Compute the dividends per share on each class of stock for each of the four years.
Answer:
Dividend per Share:
1st Year
Preferred dividend per share = $3.75
Common dividend per share = $0
2nd Year
Preferred dividend per share = $7.45
Common dividend per share = $0.149
3rd Year
Preferred dividend per share = $5.6
Common dividend per share = $1.169
4th Year
Preferred dividend per share = $5.6
Common dividend per share = $1.39
Explanation:
The cumulative preferred stock is the stock which accumulates or accrues dividends in case the dividends are not paid or partially paid in a particular year. These accumulated dividends or dividends in arrears are paid whenever the company declares dividends next time.
Preferred dividend per year = 20000 * 140 * 0.04 = $112000
1st year
Preferred dividend = 75000
Preferred dividend per share = 75000 / 20000 = $3.75 per share
Accumulated preferred dividends = 112000 - 75000 = $37000
Common dividend = 0
Common dividend per share = 0
2nd year
Preferred dividend = 37000 + 112000
Preferred dividend per share = 149000 / 20000 = $7.45 per share
Common dividend = 10000
Common dividend per share = 10000 / 67000 = $0.149 per share
3rd year
Preferred dividend = 112000
Preferred dividend per share = 112000 / 20000 = $5.6 per share
Common dividend = 78300
Common dividend per share = 78300 / 67000 = $1.169 per share
4th year
Preferred dividend = 112000
Preferred dividend per share = 112000 / 20000 = $5.6 per share
Common dividend = 93130
Common dividend per share = 93130 / 67000 = $1.39 per share
Based on the projections, Decker will have a. a financing deficit of $36 b. a financing surplus of $36 c. zero financing surplus or deficit d. a financing surplus of $255 e. a financing deficit of $255
Answer:
B, A financing surplus of $36
Explanation:
As the question is incomplete so firstly I am going to write the question for you first and its solution
Question: Decker Enterprises Below are the simplified current and projected financial statements for Decker Enterprises. All of Decker's assets are operating assets. All of Decker's current liabilities are operating liabilities. Income statement Current Projected Sales na 1,500 Costs na 1,080 Profit before tax na 420 Taxes (25%) na 105 Net income na 315 Dividends na 95 Balance sheets Current Projected Current Projected Current assets 100 115 Current liabilities 70 81 Net fixed assets 1,200 1,440 Long-term debt 300 360 Common stock 500 500 Retained earnings 430 650 Based on the projections, Decker will have
Solution :
We need to find total assets first
Current assets = 115
Net fixed assets = 1440
Total assets = 115+1440= 1555
Secondly, we need to find sum of liabilities and stockholder equities to compare them with Total assets.
Liabilities = current liabilities + long term debt
Liabilities = 81 + 360 = 441
Equity = Common stock + retained earnings
Equity = 500 + 650 = 1150
Total equity + liabilities = 1591
Financial Deficit/Surplus = Total assets - Total liabilities and stockholder equity
Financial Deficit/Surplus = 1555 - 1591
Financial Deficit/Surplus = -36 surplus
Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $3.75. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 23% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 6% thereafter. The firm's required return is 9%.
a. How far away is the horizon date?
I. The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero.
II. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero.
III. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2.
IV. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
V. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
b. What is the firm's horizon, or continuing, value? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
c. What is the firm's intrinsic value today, P0? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
a. How far away is the horizon date?
IV. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
b. What is the firm's horizon, or continuing, value? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
to determine the horizon value we can use the Gordon growth formula:
stock price = future dividend / (required rate of return - constant growth rate)
Div₀ = $3.75
Div₁ = $4.6125
Div₂ = $5.673375
Div₃ = $6.97825125
since the terminal value is calculated for year 2, we must use Div₃ in our calculations:
stock price = $6.97825125 / (9% - 6%) = $232.61
c. What is the firm's intrinsic value today, P0? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
we have to calculate the present value of:
P₀ = $4.6125/1.09 + $5.673375/1.09² + $232.608375/1.09² = $4.2317 + $4.7752 + $195.7818 = $204.7887 ≈ $204.79
Darlene and her friends get together for lunch after work. While at lunch, the friends discuss what they can do to solve the problem of excessive overtime at work. Which of the following is true?
A. Darlene and her friends are not engaging in concerted activity because they don’t plan to talk to management about the problem. B. Darlene and her friends are engaging in concerted activity since they are discussing how to improve working conditions. C. Darlene and her friends are engaging in concerted activity only if they are union members. D. Darlene and her friends are not engaging in concerted activity because they are not in a union meeting.
Answer: B. Darlene and her friends are engaging in concerted activity since they are discussing how to improve working conditions.
Explanation:
Concerted Activity refers to activity that employees may engage in when they are trying to improve the conditions at their workplace without fear of Employer retaliation. Federal Law by the National Labor Relations Act protects the ability of workers to be able to meet and discuss how they can improve conditions and Employees do not even have to be in a Union to engage in such.
When engaged in a Concerted action, the employer has no right to in any way threaten your employment.
Darlene and her friends' actions are therefore considered a concerted activity as they are meeting to discuss how to improve a workplace problem.
Answer:
B. Darlene and her friends are engaging in concerted activity since they are discussing how to improve working conditions.
Explanation:
Concerted activity is defines as meeting between employees that concerns their working conditions and wages. This type of activity is protected by National Labour Relations Act, therefore it cannot be used as a basis for dismissal of an employee.
In the given scenario Darlene and her friends get together for lunch and discuss what they can do to solve the problem of excessive overtime at work.
This is a form of concerted activity on the part of Darlene and he coworkers since they are discussing working conditions.
1. A company sells a plant asset that originally cost $375,000 for $125,000 on December 31, 2017. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $150,000 after the current year's depreciation of $37,500 had been recorded. The company should recognize a
Answer:
The company should recognize a loss on sale of plant asset of $100,00.
Explanation:
The cost = $375,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $150,000
Therefore, book value = $225,000
This book value is compared with the sales value of $125,000.
There is a difference of $100,000 ($225,000 - $125,000).
Since the book value is greater than the sales value, it means that the plant asset was sold at a loss.
The cost is the amount at which the plant asset was purchased. The accumulated depreciation represents the cost that has been expensed so far. The sales value is the amount at which the plant asset was sold.
A change in price will lead to a change in __________ and to a change in __________, while a change in government subsidies will lead to a change in __________ and a change in the number of buyers will lead to a change in __________.
Answer:
quantity demanded; quantity supplied; supply; demand
Explanation:
When there is a change in price of goods, this change will lead to quantity demanded and it will also lead to a change in the quantity supplied. According to the law of demand, an increase in price will lead to a decrease in quantity demanded and vice-versa.
When there is a change in government susidies, this change will lead to a change in supply, and a change in the number of buyers will lead to a change in demand.
Therefore, the correct statement is:
A change in price will lead to a change in quantity demanded and to a change in quantity supplied, while a change in government subsidies will lead to a change in supply and a change in the number of buyers will lead to a change in demand.
